GET UP | Mavericks are dangerous team for top seed! – Tim Legler all in on Doncic-Irving duo

The trash talk between legler and hembo right now is just hilarious hembo says this is the biggest question he feels he’s ever asked you feel like Reggie Jackson I do my third trip to the plate three straight homers in the 77 World Series I’m two for my last two about to

Go three for three all right let’s try it here we go so Luca donic has been in the league since 2018 since that time there’s only one player in the league who has scored more points than he has can you name him I feel so confident in

This which is maybe making me scared okay because usually I’m confident I’m wrong it has to so it has to be this is total points so it has to be not scoring average means means you put up numbers but you also play all the time no significant time Miss to injury which

Leads me to believe this is Janis Sant TMO oh my goodness that’s right it is it is yanis it is Giannis there were good guesses so Kimberly and I were playing along over there before I saw the answer we both guessed yic he is fourth the

List is Giannis one curry in there Luca 2 Jason Tatum three that was my second guest actually Tatum and then yic for that’s it you’ve broken him hembo has finally left the studio he submits great news for the radio show uh and outside of that all right well done good job

That was that was a very well played all right now let’s run the floor let’s go through some of the other NBA action we talked about the Lakers big win last night earlier let’s talk about the Warriors they blew out Miami they got 28 from Klay Thompson how encouraging a

Night was this for Golden State well anytime Klay Thompson finds his rhythm it makes you believe there’s always going to be hope with this team because of their style because of the shooting prowess of their best two players so Klay Thompson he doesn’t do it every

Night but when he does it gives the war legitimate shot on any given night and let’s talk about OKC they beat New Orleans closing the game on a 12 nothing run and they’ve had such a great year are they a legit threat to win the West

The year they’ve had you it’ be almost unfair it be disrespectful to say they’re not a legitimate threat they are but there are a couple of question marks one they’re young they just don’t have a lot of combined playoff experience and their size is an issue their last two

Losses or two of their last three losses they got absolutely mauled on the glass by the Lakers and the Bucks that is an Achilles for this team but let’s give them credit for the year they’ve had and say yeah they’re a threat and then Dallas easy win last night over

Sacramento Luca and Kyrie combining for 52 and 14 and I know you’ve been saying it for a while on this show you find them very dangerous yeah this is the real threat I think in so far right now for me in the Western Conference to the Denver Nuggets this is the best team

Luca’s had and that’s saying a lot because you know how great he has been in big moments but now he seems to have found a Perfect Chemistry with Kyrie Irving they’ve added some pieces to improve their depth they’ve got athletes in the middle they’ve got shooting and

Right now they’ve got a Swagger about them they’re playing their best basketball at the right time right so we like where the Mavericks are and so we show you these three obviously see that the trio that was together in Brooklyn for a time and you got KD now and the

Suns and they’ve been very up and down you got Kyrie who just told us you’re really like them Harden’s Clippers they had a great streak there they’ve leveled off a little bit they’re all in the playoff picture assuming you like Dallas the most yes which one are you the most

Worried about which of these throw it’s clearly the Suns they’re just a drift at Sea they’re lost right now so what does this mean like like like here’s Kevin Durant he handpicked another spot to go to and again it look the playoffs are what we’ll tell tail and maybe they’ll

Surprise us all but right now it does not look promising well and I think listen at some point the hits are going to come at Kevin Durant and they’re going to be valid look there’s a difference between what kind of talent you are historically and what kind of

Career you’ve had like the Legacy question is an important one for guys on this level and when you look at what has happened since Golden State these are valid question marks because this team with that level of talent at the top of this roster this is a team that every

Night even if they didn’t become great defensively if they were just average defensively they should be so good offensively they can make up for that and they should be in the mix at the top of the Western Conference and the fact that they’re having these losses that

Are this ugly and this bad and this concerning at this time of the year massive concern right now for the Phoenix so people always look at a team like that though that has him and has Devin Booker and and and has Bradley Beal assuming that he’s healthy and just

Say well they can just turn on a switch they they can just you know flick a light switch and they can all of a sudden go out and score 13 30 points in a playoff game and they become dangerous can they do that sometimes that circuit breaker is tripped okay so sometimes you

Got to go out to the garage and you got to check what circuit breaker trips because that light’s not coming on right now and this is this just something you can’t I I can’t personally forget right now in the short term that lost to Milwaukee that was a team that didn’t

Want to play basketball that day they weren’t interested in competing and Milwaukee didn’t have Giannis and then you follow it up with a loss to the Spurs do you know if you took Victor wanyama off the San Antonio Spurs breaking the record for fewest wins in the NBA they would easily that’s what

You looked at the other night they didn’t have Victor wanyama they’re not even trying to win this late in the year and they still beat the Suns who had everybody playing you can’t have a worse loss than that so just the fact that they’re having these right now with the

Importance of these games to trying to find your Rhythm yeah the Suns the Suns have big issues greeny and there will be a lot of questions about the star in the middle of it all okay more on the basketball as we go by the way a

Reminder that ESPN bet is one of the big comebacks of the here Lakers in Milwaukee no LeBron last night and when Damen Lillard knocks down this shot in the fourth quarter the Bucks have a 19point lead yeah the second time in the game first quarter they jumped out to a

Big lead they do it again in the fourth but the Lakers weren’t going away they showed a lot of toughness and they’re the ones that made the winning plays late in this game that had to be made Anthony Davis who played basically the whole night Austin Reeves who had a

29-point triple double they bring it all the way back the game winds up tied final possession for Milwaukee 2 and 1/2 seconds great play design first of all he definitely got held by ad when he tries to make this cup I don’t know why Giannis tried to scoop that just catch

It and shoot a little short bank shot with your hand on top of the basketball and it probably goes in you win the game no call so we go the other way actually final second Austin Reeves yeah too deep almost Banks it in but just a little bit

Too deep to get the shot up that he wanted so we’re going to over time two minutes and change in the OT Spencer D witty this is the Lakers first lead of the whole game sneak acquisition for the Lakers under the radar but he is going to pay huge

Dividends once they get to the playin situation which I think they’ll be in so there’s the great block from ad but in the end this play great ball movement to Lillard chaos play after the block bucks nice job all the way around the horn Lillard with a big Corner three it looks

Like the Bucks are in good shape once again it comes down to this three seconds left in overtime Lillard for the win one of the best defensive plays I’ve seen all year because Anthony Davis had to stay with Giannis till the last second if he leaves too early it’s the

Lob Dunk game over and steady timed it perfectly and then the second overtime belonged to Austin Reeds yeah great awareness right there on the catch sees there’s no backline defense drives Baseline and then the Bucks mess up this switch with the two guards Austin Reeves steps into an open three Reeves had 29

Points 14 rebounds 10 assists Anthony Davis had 34 points and 23 rebounds in a night when he played 52 minutes and 51 seconds so he was just shy of 53 minutes that’s the most he’s played at any game all year long and again the first words

You spoke to me this morning when I saw you were not all regular season games mean the same that one meant a lot it was a significant win for the Lakers it’s a statement win and like I feel like sometimes we definitely are trying to figure out ways that we want to talk

About the Lakers as if they’re interesting or they’re threatening they looked like it last night without LeBron because of the way they managed the end of this game and the fact that they dug out of a regular season game on the road without their best play twice the

Resilience that it showed a lot of teams you’re just mailing that in once you get down that big early in the game or you get that down that big in the fourth quarter they didn’t do it they fought back and then they put the ball in the

Hands of really role players on that team that made the difference and the Bucks were not able to and look ad as as great as he can be offensively some nights I really believe when the Lakers are at their best it’s because of what we’re talking about him doing on the

Defensive end of the Court he is just a massive disruptor in the paint and he did it repeatedly last night including two of the biggest possessions of the game he had his imprints all over it on that end of the floor he was spectacular last night the Lakers were in this dog

Fight with all these other teams down there in the playin neighborhood in the Western Conference and then over on the other side there are some questions about I I am a if you watch the show you know I’m a Believer in Milwaukee this year in the East but there are questions

And they reared their head last well look they made a coaching change Doc Rivers comes in and they definitely have tightened up things defensively they are a better defensive team now than they were at the start of the year when they had a lot of issues but you saw some

Issues last night with their late game management that surface that make you start to think again is this going to be a problem first of all just the flow of the offense late with Lillard and an tupo I don’t necessarily think they’ve really hit their stride yet in

Understanding how they want to operate late in games then Giannis missed a couple of big free throws they they they had mistakes defensively at critical times that led to wideopen shots for the Akers basically with the game on the line so there were some things late in

That game greeny that give you a little bit of concern even though the Bucks have significantly narrowed the Gap with Boston you see last night I still think look Boston is clearly the heavy favorite to win the Eastern Conference yeah we really good night in the NBA

Last night we’ll have more from legs as this hour continues meanwhile let me get you back what a game we saw between Iowa State who knocked off Maryland and Tara vanir in Stanford 99 career NCAA tournament wins 100 sends it to the Sweet 16 and that is Cameron Brink and Audi

Crooks came in with a 40-point game and it’s back in fourth Brink down low causing trouble for Kooks who was to two of 11 Iowa state in the first half Iowa state had a two-point lead into the third Brink gets called for the foul that’s

Her fourth and had to head to the bench one of the stars in the college game but they have more and this young lady Kiki iopen was absolutely out of her mind in this one Stanford leading by two Emily Ryan a spectacular game for Iowa State

Knocks down the three we’re tied at 57 Ryan step back bottoms Iowa State takes the lead on the other end off glass Stanford back up two Y and then the three goes from Brook Demitri down low in a tie game I offen can’t get the bucket to go we head to

Overtime in a overtime put two more on the board here off and good there Crooks down low here off Stanford up two on the other end Addie Brown a three Brook Demitri it’s your turn and we need it if we Stanford and we get it if we Stanford shout out to Stanford

Steve two-point game down low it doesn’t go in the paint Brown can’t get that free throws are made an enemy has been defeated it was an easy decision because if you think about what we did last time an enemy has been defeated window double kill is a boost you have

You can see how impactful he was in the 45 and you know typical Tyler we get into an argument in the locker room and he wants to play more you know guys are asking why can’t he play more you know that’s the whole thing and um but we had

To agreed with this club and for for us as much as I wanted him in the game because I did you know it’s it’s a safety thing we want him to make sure that he gets back in a healthy way because he has a lot um more games to play

The takeway from these 45 minutes from Houston in this game we what we’ve often talked about this how will the game be officiated uh you know if they’re allowed to play free and be physical to the defensive the floor they can really become disruptive uh if it’s a tight

Whistle all of a sudden you’re seeing your opponent go for 40 free throws that’s 45 45 free throws for Texas A&M uh it forces you to be a little bit less aggressive at the defense event of the floor that allows you to get better quality shot the other thing that

Concerned me a little bit about Houston tonight offensive rebounds just the ability to get on the offensive glass 23 offensive rebounds by Tex xan Radford who you mentioned at the big scoring day also LED them in offensive rebounds from the guard position and so I think a

Little bit of concern there but I think you really got to be pleased with Jamal shed I mean the the quintessential best leader on the floor the coach extension of the coaching staff all the superlatives you want to throw at this young man he has stepped up time and

Time again made big moments made big reads uh and put his team in position to win and the NCAA tournament you usually have to go through a game that doesn’t go your way B go this might be that game for Houston in order to make sure they get to the Final Four

Picture Perfect offense from Virginia Tech Walker a halfcourt heath to beat the buzzer oh my goodness J Walker J Walker had something to say about it Baylor up three as we head to the Fourth for Carol Lawson’s team who played the fourth toughest schedule and who before this year had never played point guard and a nice thr on the bench with two fouls but they got a three from richardon to get Ohio State’s defense to collapse Richardson again a Richardson step back over

Taylor and nobody can stop her from duke rean Richardson this tournament early match goodness Richardson ties it at 47 and the AC this season Reagan Richardson are you kidding me back on the floor kcks it out open three Richardson puts it in so much Buzz around this tournament and

Rightfully so and so much Buzz for Reagan Richardson in the crowd here for Ohio State fans she’s done that Richardson Fade Away got it what a shot backto back 25-point games Richardson does a great job getting herself open [Applause] but Richardson blocks it in and the Duke

Blue Devils are dancing on to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2018 what a game we saw between Iowa State who knocked off Maryland and Pa vaner and Stanford 99 career NCAA tournament wins 100 sends them to the Sweet 16 and that is Cameron Brink and Audi Crooks

Just came in with a 40-point game and it’s back and forth Brink down low causing trouble for Kooks who was two of 11 Iowa state in the first half Iowa state had a two-point lead into the third defeated BR an ally has defeated gets called for the foul that’s her

Fourth and had to head to the bench one of the stars in the college game but they have more and this young lady Kiki ien was absolutely out up her mind in this one Stanford leading by two Emily Ryan a spectacular game for Iowa State knocks down the three we’re tied

At 57 Ryan step back bottoms Iowa State takes the lead on the other end off glass Stanford back up two never forget and then the three goes from Brook Demitri down low in a tie game iopen can’t get the bucket to go we head to overtime in uh

Overtime so put two more on the board ER offen good there Kooks down low Erie offen Stanford up two on the other end Addie Brown a three Brook Demitri it’s your turn and we need it if we’re Stanford and we get it if we’re Stanford shout out to

Stanford Steve two-point game an ally has been down low it doesn’t go in the paint Brown can’t get that free throws are made never forget never forgive you have defeated an enemy it was an easy decision because if you think about what we did last time to s for

Us we wouldn’t use a window um and we would thirsty stasis you can see how impct you know typical TI get to AR in lock your team has destroyed a tower but we had to stick to it you know that’s what we agreed with this club and for

For us as much as I wanted you know it’s it’s a safy thing want to make sure that he get he has a lot more gam Victory the takeaway from these 45
